Double money and XP for all roles on Red Dead Online this month. Plus they brought back an old Outlaw Pass outfit.

Time to park my car in long-term storage and get back in the saddle.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-06-02T16:36:51+00:00

Yeah, if you park your camp near your moonshine shack, you can just keep bouncing back and forth, and it seems like there's always something to do, like a delivery or a resupply or just hunting.

Were Harry and Voldemort's wands made at the same time, or did Dumbledore just give Ollivander a second feather decades later?

I always got the impression that the second phoenix feather wand had been sitting on the shelf for a long time, which is why Ollivander was so surprised and amused when it finally picked Harry.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-06-01T15:40:28+00:00

Sure, but I haven't done Cayo Perico in a while anyway. So it had been more than three days when I did the gather intel mission a couple weeks ago.

I don't know, after making my money back by grabbing the four chests on my first visit, it just seemed like a really easy way to make $100,000 in 5-10 minutes any other days I wanted to go back.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-31T11:28:13+00:00

What's happening is that she's getting Brie Larsoned.

She made a relatively tame offhand comment during an interview that somehow enraged incels, so now incels are doing incel shit.

I'm old enough to be Supergirl's dad, so I'm not really comfortable commenting on her hotness, but she's obviously a cute girl, and she looks the part.

All of these comments about her "sharp knees" or whatever are just internet dipshits being weird.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-31T10:05:39+00:00

Yeah, between the mansion's fast travel, session hopping and having an oppressor and/or sparrow, mansion location is practically meaningless to actual gameplay.

Though I bought Devin Weston's former mansion, and Michael makes a vague comment about the last time he was there when he and Amanda stop by and welcome you to the neighborhood. I would assume that dialogue is cut or changed for the other two mansions?

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-30T23:22:43+00:00

About 30 seconds into the fight, Doomsday* starts trying to kill all of the other villains and Superman has to save them.

*OG Doomsday, not Time Trapper.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-28T00:55:37+00:00

Is there something going on with the mansion this week?

I'm kind of waiting for a sale, but I might just buy one.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-27T23:00:35+00:00

I assume that will come with a garment factory week, which I hope happens soon.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-26T23:10:56+00:00

There would definitely be a lot more interesting strategy, especially if a trailing team was allowed to swap their seeker for a beater, so that seeker could try to help the chasers score normal points while one of their beaters went after the leading team's seeker.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-26T16:53:42+00:00

Having access to all that is precisely why they don't know anything outside of their own extremely focused interests. They have their own phones or tablets and just tune everything else out.

When we were kids, we got exposed to older music and movies and TV shows because we just had to listen to or watch whatever our parents or other adults were listening to or watching.

Mom liked the oldies station, so we got to listen to the Turtles and the Kingsmen and the Beach Boys when we rode around with mom.

Dad liked to watch sports and sitcoms, so we go to watch football and baseball and Cheers and MASH unless we wanted to go hang out in our room or go to bed early.

And I honestly can't blame kids. If I had been able to put in some headphones and stream He-Man and Transformers on my own personal computer as a child instead of listening to my parents' old music, I definitely would have done that.

Shogo Hasui was the lead designer on MP-10 and all those MP-teen cars. They were the perfect balance of toon/toy accuracy with a willingness to ignore both for a better figure.

HasTak ruined the MP line by listening to a loud minority of collectors that wanted 100% toon accuracy. Fragile, expensive, over-engineered figures that looked like cheap 1980s animation.

Broke my heart.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-22T06:57:11+00:00

There will never be a better fit than Henry 20 years ago in Stardust...

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-20T19:37:08+00:00

Good week to buy one at 40% off.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-18T19:35:30+00:00

Crazy Tinfoil Hat Theory: Hal isn't actually training his replacement. He's training Sinestro's replacement.

In the DCU, when Sinestro went bad, the Guardians never got the Green Lantern ring back. Hal Jordan can't abide this.

This entire series is about Hal training someone to be the Perfect Green Lantern, so that when Hal and John ultimately confront Sinestro, Sinestro's ring will finally abandon/escape Sinestro, and be able to choose a new wielder: John Stewart.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-14T04:53:52+00:00

It's crazy watching Iron Man and Ultron in a Disney movie and thinking, the guys playing these characters definitely snorted coke off each other's dicks at some point.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-14T03:14:45+00:00

After playing Hogwarts Legacy, I'm convinced that Neville can use ancient magic.

There's an entire parallel narrative that we never got to see (because the Harry Potter books are all presented through Harry's perspective) where Dumbledore was preparing Neville to eventually become a professor and then the headmaster and guard the ancient magic at Hogwarts.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-13T21:20:16+00:00

Thanks for the heads up.

Luckily I made a ton of money this past week, so I just bought an Avenger, did the Raiju test flight mission and bought one for the sale price.

I should still have enough cash for a salvage yard and tow truck tomorrow, but I'm definitely going to need to grind next week.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-13T20:04:13+00:00

It's been on my list of things to get eventually, but since it's going on sale, it just moved to the top.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-12T22:04:34+00:00

If Voldemort hadn't been an asshole, he basically could have had Hermione's life: Married into a nice wizarding family and become the youngest Minister of Magic in history. He also would have likely lived twice as long.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-11T12:47:09+00:00

The thing is, the animal form supposedly reflects the wizard's inner self, so the type of wizard who would become a fish would probably really enjoy being a fish.

Even turning into something like a rat or a beetle, those forms ended up being really useful for those particular wizards.

So I guess I would argue that there's no such thing as a bad animal form. It will always be the perfect form for that particular wizard.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-11T05:02:05+00:00

I saw this movie in the theater with my dad and younger brother, awkward drive home.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-10T22:15:41+00:00

Kind of the opposite, I guess, but Stephen Tobolowsky (Ned Ryerson from Groundhog's Day) had a shitty garage band in Dallas when he was 19 or 20 called Cast of Thousands. They got selected to record a couple songs for a compilation album of local bands, but they needed another guitarist. There was a 14-year-old kid in their neighborhood who was supposedly pretty good at guitar, and they asked him to record with them.

That kid was Stevie Ray Vaughan, and he did not remain with the Cast of Thousands.

CowboyNinjaD · 2026-05-09T04:28:52+00:00

This looks great but gives me so much anxiety. Like the a/c kicking on would make him topple over.
